Draw poker is a form of poker in which 5-card stud or
face down poker is played with the concept of discarding. It is one of the
simplest poker variants in existence, although it is not one of the most
popular, as it has gone out of fashion. However, as a simple poker card game,
it is often a favourite choice for home games with friends and family. In fact,
it is a very old game that emerged in the year 1850, which makes this card game
very popular for western movie settings or gangster movie plots.
In this article we want to tell you everything you
need to know about (online and live) hole poker. Also, we talk about what is draw

As we said in the introduction, hole poker is one of
the simplest forms of this popular card game of chance and strategy, although
it is not one of the most popular - as is the case with Texas Hold'em, Omaha
Poker or Stud. Deck poker is a modality that was born a few years ago,
specifically in 1850. In English, the poker game is known as Five Card Draw,
and in general this is the definition used by most casinos and bookmakers to
refer to it. It can be played both live and online. However, the online form of
online poker is becoming less and less common. The reason for this is that it
is a fairly old game and other versions such as Texas Hold'em - which is played
in most tournaments on television and the internet - have become more popular
over time. In order to play online poker, it is advisable to look for poker
rooms that specialise in offering various forms of poker.
When we talk about poker, rules and regulations, the first thing we must define is the blinds system. Depending on these we will base the betting format during the game. Keep in mind that with antes all players bet - before the cards are dealt - while in the blinds, bets are made by the two players immediately to the left of the dealer. That is, the Small Blind to the left of the dealer, and the Big Blind to the left of the Small Blind. The value of these bets depends on each game, but the Big Blind will always be half the Small Betting Limit and the Big Blind will always be twice the Small Blind. Having clarified this point, we will now go on to explain how to play blind poker and what the rest of the rules are.
Blind poker: rules
The rules of hole poker, or Five Card Draw, are very
simple. Once it is decided whether to play with blinds or antes, the dealer -
dealer or button - deals a total of 5 hole cards to each player that only he or
she can see. Of course, prior to this, the dealer is decided - usually this is
done by measuring the highest card. Let's take a detailed look at how each game
unfolds:
